Slick City is set to open a new indoor action park in Nottingham next month, bringing its “pure adrenaline for every age” concept to the UK for the first time. The 50,000-square-foot venue will be the US brand’s European debut and is billed as the UK’s first indoor action park focused on high-speed slide experiences. Located on Redfield Road in Lenton, the Nottingham Slick City action park aims to draw families, teens and adults looking for repeatable, short‑duration thrills under one roof.
The Nottingham Slick City action park will feature 16 dry slides, ranging from steep drop slides to twisting layouts that launch guests into the air before they land on padded run‑outs. These will be supported by air courts and other active play zones designed to keep throughput high while encouraging extended stays. The concept removes water from the equation and focuses on speed, airtime and soft landings, making the Slick City action park format suitable for urban locations and multi‑use buildings.
For the UK market, the Nottingham Slick City action park represents a significant new entrant in the competitive indoor leisure space. The operator is targeting visitors aged four and up, with a soft play offer for younger children and an on-site café to support family visits and group events. Parties, corporate bookings and school groups are all part of the anticipated mix, with the format designed for all‑weather trading and year‑round operation. Around 100 jobs are expected to be created in the city, adding a new employer to Nottingham’s growing leisure cluster.
For industry professionals, the Nottingham Slick City action park highlights continued demand for compact, high-energy indoor products that deliver strong social media visuals and high repetition rates. The model also shows how slide‑driven attractions can be scaled and replicated, with Nottingham acting as a showcase for potential further Slick City sites across the UK and Europe.
